Before the Baltimore committee decided upon the
appointment Of committee OF ten to raise S. 600
T. N. Schryver described how the corn and hour
exchange, the board OF trade, and the Merchants
and Manufacturers' Association had each condi-
uOnally promised subscription OF $500, and how
he had been unsuccessful In trying to get the Bal
timore and Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA Railroads TO
subscribe. The pennsylvania declined to act until
the place for holding tho exposition has been Sc
lected, and the Baltimore and Ohio's silence was
construed into q refusal Brief remarksas to how
to raise s., 600 here were made by W. s. Powell,
Frank Prick and Stephen Bonsal MI. Bon
sal suggested the Committee OF ten, saying
that he believed the commercial bodies
would modify their conditional subscriptions II
the committee should raise the S. 500 additional
to make up the 5.O00. Kx-Goy. Ordway said that
the combined influence OF Maryland, Virginia and
the District OF Columbia, II strongly exerted,
would induce Congress TO take the desired action.
Thas. J. Luttrell said that as washington does
several million dollars worth Of business annually
with Baltimore and as the railroads carry the
goods he thought the roads ought TO subscribe. A
subscription after the action or Congress would
not be wanted. Geo c. 0orham made clear and

Stream TIN.

F. 4. Carpenter has an advertisement
in the Rapid Journal calling for stream
tin in lots of fifty pounds and upwards.
The Journal says: This is probably
the first advertisement ever made in
the United States for tin ore, and will
open up to the miners in the tin districts
a source of revenue heretofore unknown.
If stream tin exists in the quantities
that have been claimed in verious To-
calities there is no doubt but that a
great deal OF money will be brought into
the Hills. as there is reliable market
open for all the tin ore Of this kind that
is produced. Another consideration is
that, be the quantity great or small, the
sale Of stream tin opens up the produc.
ton of the Black Hills, and will do more
to advertise the mineral resource in the
markets Of the world than all other
means together

HnQainR Society.

A western exchange thus describes a
new social feature which will doubtless
become popular for reasons other than
the laudable desire to contribute to the
pressing wants Of the poor. Several OF
our young ladies have formed a hugging
society for the amusement of the young
men during the long winter evenings,
general proceeds to go for the benefit OF
the poor. For increasing the society s
fund the prices of straight up and
down hug are, girls under 10 years 20
cents each hug of two minutes duration;
from IL to rs years, rs cents; school
marms 10 cents; another mans wife, ST.
widows, according to looks, 10 cents to
81, old maids cents, or two for nickle
and no limit to time.

A. Good Z ear.

Professor Foster of Iowa, the man who
runs the western department of the
weather bureau has concluded his pre-
dictions for the coming season and ad-
vises farmers to plow and SOW. He says:
I'm latitudes where oats can be sown
early, the warm growing weather that
will occur fro m April to II will give
the grain such healthy start that it Will
go through the cool weather following
without injury. But between the 18th
and Odd of April yill occur such cold
weather as to rot the oats that have not
a good growing start. Generally, espec
tally in northern latitudes, it will be
better to SOW oats after Apri! %. Heavy
cold rains about April II, will be very
unfavorable to grain in the ground that
is not up and growing. From April "A
to May "a will be very fine farming
weather, and warm, except the heavy
storms about May 10 to 16 that may give
too much rain, A very bad storm per-
iod will occur the last week in May that
will cause too much rain and injure the
crop ty washout Corn planted early
in May will be less damaged by this bad
storm period yhan if planted later. Its
not necessary to give details now, but
will reiterate that the farmers will be
well repaid for their work this year
The chances are very much in favor OF
an increased yield of corn over the aver
age Of many years past, and we advise 8
large plant Of that staple crop. The
general rainfall will be greatly increased
over that of last year. The winter oi
1878 will be much more open and
mild, with plenty of water for stock, anC
farmers should plant and SOW with q
view to what kind of feed is better FOL
an open winter. While there may be
some heavy rain or snowfalls at the
heavy storm periods of March lst, 18th.
and 3lst, and heavy rains near the storm
periods of April 10th, May 10th, and the
last week Of May, there will be grad
ual increase in the average rainfall
throughout the year. Crops will grow
verp rapidly and mature quick. Corn
may have tendency to remain green
until late on account of August and Sep
tember rains, and should be put in the
ground the last of April or the first Of
| May peadwood Times.

Territorial Legislature.

The present session of the legislature
is moro remarkable for the number o
| bills introduced than for the number
| passed. More than 400 bills have thus
far been introduced, which amount il
being daily increased, while the mum
ber passed has been surprisingly few
Among the number recently introduced
we note, bill to prohibit the playing
Of games of chance in saloons.
a bill creating board of health, by
Stewart of Fall River.
A bill to establish village school dis.
tricts.
A bill providing for the division OF
the territory into two educational dis
tricts, with an educational superinten-
dent for each, and abolishing appointive
officers by the superintendent of public
instruction and assistant.
The house passed the bill removing
the supreme court from Yankton to
Redfeld.
The council passed a bill providing
for the incorporation ofcities, and bill
providing for general banking law.
The council killed the Mitchell court
bill by a vote OF TO r.
The governor appointed Alex Griggs
OF Grand Forks, Abe Boynton of Len
nox, and n. T. Smith of Huron as rail
road commissioners. Their confrma-
tons were hung up in the council on
the ground Of the republican members
not being consulted upon the appoint
ment of Smith who is a republican. A
committee waited on the governor for n
consultation upon the matter, and were
informed by him that 1t was his pur-
pose to appoint whom he pleased, and
they might confirm or reject. The gov
ernor says he will listen to the sug-
gestions Of republicans regarding two
ffths of the members of the board Of
trustees and public instruction. He
says his course has been decided after
due deliberation and he intends carry
ing it out. There are prospects of con-
siderable worriment all around. The
council finally confirmed the appoint
ments of the railroad commissioners on
the 2Sth ult., which settles the fight
between the governor and the council.
The governor has appointed the fol
lowing board Of trustees for the School
of Mines at Rapid Andrew j. Simmons,
john K. Brennan, Gustavus Schnasse,
R0ard B. Hughes and G. Y. Gardner,
the last named of Spring Valley.
Patton's bill for the division of Law
renee county was vetoed by the govern
or mainly on the ground that it did not
provide that all people of the county
should vote on the question of division.
A bill appropriating fifty thousand
dollars for the normal school at Madison
passed the house on the lst.
The report that the house had defeat
ed Deadwood in the considereii ton of
the court removal bill was a mistake l..
The Black Hills delegation won in the
contest, and the bill that was fayorably
recommended was for the removal of
the court from Yankton to Redfeld.
A bill passed the house appropriating
$4,000 for an agricultural college a
Fargo.

Clark, unknown to me, and who reg
irters from Rapid City, on the 2lst day

to appear at the Gap to prosecute a
complaint made by Patrick Carberry
against S. Sagendorf, charging him with
intent to kill. In compliance with such
request | went to the Gap, and upon in
quiry and investigation | found com
plaint of that character in the name of
Patrick Carberry as plaintiff instead of
the Territory Of Dakota, which failed to
charge n public otfense, and upon furth-
er inquiry and investigation | found
that the defendant had been arraigned,
plead guilty, and had paid fine for the
same conduct, and that there was no
evidence to support a charge of assault
with intent to kill The province and
office of a committing magistrate is to
detain defendants who are liable to
escape the vigilence Of the grand jury,
and not for the purpose Of ascertaining
or determining whether crime has
been committed or not. Some people
are entirely too ready and willing TO
censure their public officers upon the
bare statement of stranger, and a non

low bred abuses that have been heaped
upon me emanated with, and was pro-

referred to. | don't want to enter into

Uncle Sam.

The following, communicated to the
Deadwood Times, suggests feature in
Black Hills mine management that has
been more detrimental to our mining
interests than all other causes combin-
ed that of electing mining superinten-
dents for grandeur, without reference to
competency or fitness.
After making inquiry of those who
doubtless have received letters, the con-
tents Of which they refuse to make
known, we fear that there is an effort
being made to again appoint Professor
Dickerman superintendent of the Uncle
Sam. With no malice toward Mr. Dick
erman and for the best interests Of the
mine, we feel in duty bound to say that
just as sure as he is appointed, the pro
perty is doomed and not only that pro-
perty but the entire Uncle Sam camp
1t seems incredible that the eastern
owners, after two failures with the
mine, should again experiment, espec.

ment, it is rapidly coming to the front

Life on the Texas Border

This is the home of the donkeys, and to see
them struggling along under heavy back
loads of wood and hay is something to re-
member for long time. Away up among
the hills they go, where the Mexicans find
bunch grass, and with their long knives cut
enough in the course of an hour or two to
make a load for the donkey. The hay is
firmly fastened on the back of the animal,
and then both man and beast walk quietly
homeward, where the load is stored away
for future use. The man sings as he walks
along, or smokes his cigarita in great content,
thinking of nothing in particular so long as
the ssans,is bright and the cold north wind
SlaesN4@ s4SsaxE
Near the houses, which are built of large
bricks of mud, the women do their washing
while kneeling on the ground. They also
prepare their meals while in the same post
ure, which is favorite one with them They,
too, smoke their tiny cigaritas, and chatter
away with one another as contented and
happy as so many house finches. Surely it
takes very little to give happiness TO some
people, and / believe the Mexicans as nation
are as happy as any on earth. Several of the
old ladies do very nice work in the way of
making lace and fancy table covers, taking
the utmost pains with the inexpensive mate
rials they find in the tienda or store.-Chihua-

Telling the California Redwoods,

San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, as
the death rattle of California giant was
heard After hours of underwriting and cross
saving they had cut through all but one and
half inches of the monstrous trunk, fifteen
feet in diameter, and the cracking of the
wood announced that the monarch was about
to fall It's lofty top, 275 feet above the
ground, wavered moment and bowed grace
fully and with stately air, like grand lady
courtesying; then gathering impetus as it left
the perpendicular the great trunk rushed to
the earth with terrific force
Keeping to the course marked for it by the
woodsmen, it tore the foliage from the pro-
truding limbs, filled the air with flying
branches and bits of bark, swept away every
article in it's path, and descending with ire
mendous force struck the ground with thud
to be heard mile. Clouds of dust shot up
sixty feet; the earth shook and rumbled. The
PROSTATE giant trembled once and and all was
over. It was death scene of awful grand
eur and solemnity. Even the lumbermen, ac-
customed to the sight daily, dropped their
sledges, double bitted axes, malls, goads and
water buckets and gazed in silence at the
overthrow of the many centuried monarch

tried in Chicago, which has the cable carried
along on little trucks through box only
